Reflection 3- Sharings

25 September 2010
So far, work is progressing steadily.
Having come together for the second time after a week of emails and smses, we gathered down and 'regurgitate' what we have uncovered through our surfings and countless readings. My part is to find out more on TSLN, I&E, IT, NE  and SEED, So here's on SEED-

SEED is the foundation stone under the umbrella of TLLM. Strategies for Effective Engagement and Development (SEED) is a school-based initiative that comes up with strategies to better engage pupils in the early primary years. The philosophy of SEED encompasses the following:

SPIRIT of SEED

•Though specific support for SEED is targeted at P1 and P2 levels, the spirit of SEED is meant to spiral up through the levels.

PETALS

•The PETALS framework allows teachers to have a more meta-cognitive focus on principles of engaged learning in their classroom practice.

OWNERSHIP

•Teachers own the classroom and design the classroom environment and learning experiences

PROFESSIONALISM:

•Teachers can enhance their professional competencies and engage in professional dialogue and sharing

It was another long evening and we decided to call it a day and meet up the following week to learn on how to use ULEAD VideoStudio. We delegated work to tidy up our part of initiatives.
